Marcus Johnston passed away at the age of 29 on Tuesday, May 9th, 2017, in Madison, Wisconsin.

Marcus was born on February 3, 1988 in Madison, Wisconsin, the son of Steve Johnston and Marlene McGuire. He graduated from LaFollette High School in 2006, and went on to work in the automotive field and in freelancing computer services. 

Marcus grew up with (3) siblings, and spent much of his childhood biking, fishing, exploring the outdoors, catching frogs, and playing video games. He was an admirer of astronomy and had a fascination for supernovae explosions.  He enjoyed applying his knowledge in computers and cars by offering his talents to help friends and family members. Marcus also found excitement in frisbee golf, traveling, and creating new recipes. Marcus' favorite color was green.

Marcus is survived by three sisters, Stephanie Johnston, Annamarie Johnston, and Cari Wimer; brother, James Johnston; grandmother, Barbara McGuire; aunts, Naomi Rivers, and Ann (Brian) Lokken; uncle, John (Truphosa) McGuire; cousins, Jessica (Brad) Johnston-Looze, Joshua (Rebekah) Rivers, Jacob Rivers, Caitlyn Rivers, Megan Rivers, Mikel Kind, Meshan Adams, Jonathan Martin, Jalea Schmid; niece and many nephews. He was preceded in death by his grandfather, James McGuire; grandmother, Lois River; and aunt, Laura Rivers.

A memorial gathering will be held at Gunderson East Funeral, 5203 Monona Drive in Madison, on Monday, May 15, 2018, from 1 PM until 4 PM. The celebration of life (service) will be held at 4 PM.
